Shaken Up

During my last trip to Chile, I had the opportunity to experience an earthquake of magnitude 5.2. It only lasted for a few seconds but it felt like an eternity.

It happened when I was in the middle of a busy street in Viña del Mar, a costal city full of lively restaurants, cafes and shopping malls.

As I looked up towards the sky, I noticed a building moving from side to side as if it were made out of rubber. To my right there was an older lady eating ice-cream and she continued to do so throughout the earthquake. At that moment, I realized it was nothing new to them.

After it was all over, people started clapping. I could hear the music again, just like nothing had happened. In fact, this moving of the earth added to the atmosphere of a rich Latin American vibe.

Now that I write about it, I want to go back. The moving of the earth made me feel alive.

    Some beautiful skies in these shots. Living in Cali I’m kinda used to the earthquakes. Still, can be exciting – as long as nothing or no one gets broken.

    That was EXCELLENTLY written. It is among one of your BEST!

    I felt my first earthquake last year and it was “wild and crazy,” but you’re right…we all do need a little shaking sometimes.
